YouTube Growth & Social Media Marketer

We are building an educational YouTube channel focused on delivering informative, fact-based, and general knowledge content. Our goal is to simplify useful knowledge and present them in a visually compelling and entertaining way  — more like informative storytelling.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a YouTube-focused social media marketer who understands how to grow a channel organically, not just upload videos. This role is about strategy, content direction, analytics, and growth, working closely with our creative/animation team.

You should understand how YouTube actually works — titles, thumbnails, watch time, retention, Shorts, and audience psychology.

 

Key Responsibilities

YouTube Strategy & Growth

  • Develop and execute a YouTube content strategy aligned with our brand/studio
  • Research trends, competitors, and content opportunities
  • Plan video ideas that improve CTR, watch time, and subscriber growth
  • Create monthly/weekly content calendars

Content Optimization

  • Write compelling video titles, descriptions, and tags
  • Guide thumbnail direction (brief designers, A/B test ideas)
  • Optimize videos for YouTube SEO
  • Improve retention by suggesting better hooks, pacing, and structure

Analytics & Performance Tracking

  • Monitor performance using YouTube Studio
  • Track metrics like:
    • Click-through rate (CTR)
    • Audience retention
    • Average view duration
    • Subscriber growth
  • Provide clear insights and improvement plans based on data

Shorts & Cross-Platform Distribution

  • Repurpose long-form content into YouTube Shorts
  • Help adapt content for Instagram Reels / other platforms (optional)
  • Understand how Shorts support long-form channel growth

 

Collaboration

  • Work closely with animators, editors, and creatives
  • Give clear briefs and feedback (you don’t need to edit, but must understand editing)
  • Coordinate uploads, scheduling, and publishing

 

Required Skills & Experience

  • 1–5 years experience managing or growing YouTube channels
  • Strong understanding of:
    • YouTube algorithm basics
    • Audience retention & CTR
    • Content hooks and storytelling
  • Experience using YouTube Studio analytics
  • Ability to explain why a video performed well or poorly
  • Good communication and planning skills

 

Must Have

  • Experience with animation, creative studios, or video-first brands
  • Knowledge of thumbnail design principles
  • Experience growing a channel from 0 → traction
  • Familiarity with Adobe tools / basic video workflow
  • Experience running YouTube experiments (titles, thumbnails, formats)

 

Success Metrics

  • Growth in subscribers & views
  • Improved CTR and audience retention
  • Consistent upload schedule
  • Clear learning from analytics and experiments
